You can do a few upgrades;

a) a completely new platform like a Ryzen 7000 series CPU, 32GB DDR5, and a B650 board

b) 32GB DDR4 3600 RAM, keeping the 3900X CPU

c) DDR4 3600 and a 5700X

d) DDR4 3200 and a 5800X3D

 

2133 is simply too slow for Zen 2 and Zen 3, limits the CPU a lot.

":2133 is simply too slow for Zen 2 and Zen 3, limits the CPU a lot"

I was thinking this for a long time.   maybe i should upgrade ram first and see what the resutls are then.

I tought  (after watching Massive video's) that it would do that much.  but guess I was wrong.

 

Thx for the advice!

i have a 3900X + 2x DDR4 4000MHz RAM @ 3600 + Sapphire RX 6900 XT and I don't feel like I'm missing anything in the games I play (DSR, UT3, Battlefield series, COD series) at 3440x1440 75Hz (old Freesync monitor).  It really depends on the games and res the game is being played at, obviously at lower res, the GPU is stressed as much, so the onus on better framerate falls the CPU....again, it depends on the game and engine used. So far, my R9 3900X is doing well paired with the RX 6900 XT.

Yeah but once you consider you need new ram and a new cpu the only thing standing in the way of ddr5 becomes the motherboard, and then it's better to go with a new platform...

yeah was looking into those. but dunno if they make that big of a diffrence???

yeah, A LOT! Imagine the muscles are the Cores and Threads and the Cache is the Oxygen and Nutrients (Super Simplified). With the 100mb Cache of the X3D Chip, you gonna make those muscle perform better
